Hi, Its been a quiet sort of day if you don't count the wind which has been ferocious sounding at times, its the mike that picks it up.
Only 3 fish delivered all day, this no doubt due to the weather. but having said that the young ospreys have been well provided for over the last few weeks so a day without much probably won't harm them and in fact lett all that fat on them dissipate a bit, hmmmmm.
Seriously though, lets hope the weather is better today so that the ringing and tagging can take place which is scheduled for 8pm tonight.
The bairns are close together, some fidgiting going on and looking around but on the whole they are keeping their heads down with this wind.
Happy viewing everybody, see you in the morning, night, night.

Another fish from Odin.
That's a really crowded nest with all five there:
A lot of feathers, all together, Sandy. They are all tucking into that fish and enjoying it.
Although very gusty still, the wind has died a lot in the last hour or so. I wonder....
Thanks Sandy. I have saved that photograph. It may be the last one of the whole family before the 'bling' is added.
I agree. The wind has died down a bit. Perhaps there will be an opportunity this evening after all. Lets hope so. The pix on the nest are becoming very precious. As soon as they get their pilots licences we'll see less of them but from memory I think the camera view will change.
Intruder alert. EJ is not happy
I hope they get the R&B done today .... major helicoptering by one chick just now .... lifted off and landed on another one. EJ mantling & screeching now
